GENERAL  ORDERS,  I  '       " 

•    NO.   1.  j 

General  Johnston  has  great  satisfaction  in  expressing  to 
this  command  his  sense  of  the  high  services  and  admirable  con- 
duct of  the  Army  of  Tennessee,  especially  in  the  recent  opera- 
tions near  Jtfurfreesboro.  In  those  operations,  that  patriotic 
Army,  contending  with  greatly  superior  numbers,  by  its  own 
courage,  and  the  skill  oi  ita  General,  inflicted  upon  the  enemy 
a  loss  almost  equal  to  its  own  number,  besides  capturing  thirty- 
three  cannon  and  a  thousand  wagons — an  exploit  unparalleled 
in  modern  battles./ For  its  heroic  fortitude  in  enduring  fatigue, 
privation,  and  exposure,  and  bravery  in  battle,  he  can,  with 
confidence,  promise  to  it  the  thanks  oi  the  Government  and 
gratitude  of  the  country. 

By  command   of  General  Johnston:
